In all of the many years I've been admin, I don't think that anything has touched/disturbed me more than knowing that there are many veteran forum members whose countries are currently at war. It's insane that we have several people here who are literally under artillery bombardment and are being forced to defend their homes from soldiers. How is humanity so messed up that an entire bureaucracy and chain of command filled with hundreds of thousands of people are helping to commit this atrocity?
And where did the evolution go wrong that certain groups of people (lets call them people because they resemble homo sapiens in the physical sense) can take to the streets and protest in favor of the Russian aggression on Ukraine? They call it a much-welcomed cleansing from Nazis and their supporters. Such shameful gatherings have been seen in parts of Bosnia and Serbia, namely in Trebinje, Banja Luka, and Belgrade. Counter-protests were obviously also organized, but it's still embarrassing to all the people.
Russia can of course cut the gas lines and global internet connection. It will hurt the west but it will hurt Russia as well. The West needs its gas and Russia needs the revenue it generates. I wonder how much the Russian people are ready to suffer before they turn against this sad little dictator.
